99% of all other life that has ever existed on Earth has died out, don't see why we're much different. It was only 70 years or so since we had a war involving the entire world.
Take another look around you, shouldn't be too difficult to see how different we are. One day we'll be among that number, but I don't expect it to be anytime soon.
I think that we're about to see our best days, myself. All of this apocalypse business seems to center around the end of technology. Well, it's not as though we haven't had our turn at being roaming savages....and that turned out pretty well for us, eh?
Climate change- Take a look at the impressive infrastructure in ag and cities, and how we've moved both over great distances and time, many times.
War- It would have to be a bigger war than anything we've been in before.
Viral outbreak- Probably the most worrying of things I don't worry about. I don't worry so much about viruses that -we- get though, it would be more troubling if our livestock or crops were decimated. Rust, blight, and rootworms yall...scary shit.
Economic collapse- If the whole world collapsed together, there would be no change in the relative value or worth of any of us. If the whole world didn;t collapse together....then we're just in the same situation we're in today, and the world hasn't ended on that count.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
